Wi Fi in France

I have one of the Vodaphone Pay As You Go dongles for use in the UK and am very pleased with it as it gives you access to 3G without the hassle and expense of a monthly top up. Question is will this dongle work in France and is so is it expensive to use .If not is there a French equivalent PAYG dongle .Thanks in advance

My BT dongle is first class in UK but proved almost COMPLETELY useless in France/Italy/Spain even though it purported to be connected (roaming) and used up all my credit at a very fast pace without downloading at all.
Suggest trying to obtain local Sim if possible or buy daily/monthly Orange connection while traveling.
Or for the price of a nice hot chocolate the ubiquitous McDonalds fits the bill.

It is really confusing at the moment regarding whether Vodafone PAYG will work at all when roaming. I tried to buy an SFR dongle in France in 2009 but when it came to the final transaction they wouldn't let me have one because they wouldn't link it to a UK credit card..http://mobile.broadbandgenie.co.uk/ This had advice about using mobile broadband abroad but it changes all the time but worth keeping an eye on it.

Big issue about mobile broadband abroad I guess is that the coverage is linked to the centres of population and therefore phone coverage and thereby mobile broadband coverage is going to be more patchy than in th UK which has a "denser" population!!
